My youth story, a crossover anime, turns out, is FGO!

Of course, for Makoto Aoki, paying attention to Kaguya Shinomiya was just a side effect. Actually, compared to those romance anime, Detective Conan is obviously more valuable. Putting everything else aside, once Shinichi Kudo becomes Conan, if you have any enemies, you can just write an invitation to Conan...

For a man like Makoto Aoki, who prioritizes self-interest, the frequency with which Kogoro Mouri and Conan are involved in high society cases presents numerous opportunities to seize. This explains why he pays attention to Kaguya Shinomiya, but lacks genuine interest.

After all, he has an ideal type of man; he doesn't like just any pretty girl.

Makoto Aoki was once interviewed by a well-known Japanese television station. Given the popularity of this talented mystery novelist, his youth and good looks, the host, Yoko Okino, Kogoro Mouri's goddess, jokingly asked him if he had a girlfriend.

Makoto Aoki: "No."

Yoko Okino: "Unbelievable, Aoki-sensei must be very popular."

Makoto Aoki: "I don't know, I don't remember."

...The conversation died down that day.

Yoko Okino, being a very kind person, smoothly glossed over the matter: "Aoki-sensei works so hard on his creative work, and I've heard that he also achieves excellent results. He must be focused on his studies and creative work on weekdays and doesn't have time to pay attention to these things."

"May I ask if it's alright here?" Yoko Okino winked playfully, "Does Professor Aoki have a type he likes?"

"Yes." Aoki Makoto said decisively.

Yoko Okino was somewhat surprised, but then asked enthusiastically, "Can you tell us what it's like?"

“Orange shoulder-length hair, a single ponytail, and matching eyes.” Makoto Aoki said without blinking, “Strong, cute, energetic, but ultimately just an ordinary girl.”

...Why does this sound like a specific person? Yoko Okino was speechless.

Incidentally, after the show aired, many women broke down in tears after their breakups, and orange hair even became a new hair dyeing trend for a time...

Of course, Makoto Aoki knew that he was referring to a specific person.

His ideal type, his true love and his only crush, is of course the heroine of the mobile game "Fate/Grand Order" belonging to the Fate series, Fujimaru Ritsuka, also known as Gudako!

Makoto Aoki only played the game because of this heroine. He was Gudako's only fan. As for the other Servants, although he would drool over Kama's huge heart, his true love was definitely Gudako!

Therefore, among the many otaku who cry out for their waifus, Makoto Aoki is quite an oddity. He's an ultimate power-hungry player, racking his brains to clear the game in one go. However, given that FGO is a game that understands people's hearts, he does have quite a few beautiful female Servants under his command...

So, neither blonde tsundere nor black-haired scheming beauties pose any threat to Makoto Aoki. This man loves an ordinary savior—Ritsuka Fujimaru!

It's too far off topic.

Makoto Aoki swiped his finger across the phone screen, leaving only one app on the interface.

The blonde woman wearing a crown is gazing at Makoto Aoki, who is undoubtedly Saber, King Arthur, the most popular character in the Fate series.

However, Makoto Aoki remained ruthless: "Pah! Why isn't the mascot Gudako? This is a conspiracy!"

Although there are countless pictures of Gudako in the album, this one has a different meaning!

Everyone knows that mobile games like FGO require an internet connection, so in the past sixteen years, Makoto Aoki has never opened the game and has never been able to go back to Garuda to see his beloved Gudako.

But this guy was still determined and kept trying every day.

It's the same this time.

Makoto Aoki clicked on the software, and the Fufu image at the bottom of the screen started running continuously.

Aoki Seiya waited for the pop-up message indicating that a network connection was required.

But this time...

"Bang-"

With a loud bang, the whole class, including the teacher on the stage, turned to look at the person who had suddenly stood up.

"Is there a problem, Aoki?" The math teacher pushed up his glasses.

"Um...sorry, I suddenly feel a little unwell..."

Realizing his loss of composure, Makoto Aoki immediately changed his expression, turning pale and sweating profusely, resembling an Oscar-worthy actor.

"Is Aoki alright?"

"Does Aoki-san want to take a break?"

"You must have worked too hard on your previous projects. Aoki-kun needs to get some rest!"

Before the math teacher even spoke, a huge number of people were already showing interest in Makoto Aoki; needless to say, they were all fans of Makoto Aoki's novels.

This is, after all, a world where detective and mystery novels are prevalent, and even the future elites of society will find it difficult to avoid them.

"Ahem." The math teacher coughed twice. "Then Aoki, why don't you go to the infirmary and rest for a bit?"

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, teacher."

Aoki Makoto said something polite, then pretended to be weak and left the classroom. He refused the help of many people along the way, but once he was out of the classroom and probably out of sight of the people inside, his pace quickened.

Unbeknownst to him, a pair of crimson eyes watched his disappearing figure, seemingly sensing something, before turning away with disinterest.

Makoto Aoki lay on the bed in the infirmary, seemingly resting, but actually opening his cheat-like phone.

It's no wonder he lost his composure; the FGO game, which he hadn't been able to play for sixteen years, had suddenly started updating automatically this time?!

Looking at the slowly creeping percentage in the lower left corner, Makoto Aoki was extremely anxious. After all, this unusual situation proved that the game had definitely undergone some unknown changes.

Perhaps he really will meet Gudako?

Thinking of this, Makoto Aoki's heart began to race.

As a result, the acceleration process took too long, and by the time school let out, only one-tenth of the progress had been completed.

Aoki Makoto, dejected, carried his schoolbag and declined countless offers of help along the way, riding his bicycle home.

As for why he rides a bicycle, it's not because Makoto Aoki is poor or eccentric; it's simply because there are just too many luxury cars picking up and dropping off students at a private school like Shuchiin. No matter how wide the roads are, there will still be traffic jams. Anyway, Makoto Aoki doesn't need to maintain any family prestige, so he might as well ride a bicycle.

The handsome young man with dark hair, a gentle breeze brushing his cheeks, revealing his smooth forehead and slightly melancholic eyes, drew frequent glances from the girls waiting in the luxury cars around him.

However, the boy was too fast, and usually before one could take a second look, only his back was left behind, leaving one with a sense of regret.

It was all an act, as expected.

The girl with red eyes looked away.

Hayasaka Ai noticed this scene and deliberately said, "I remember that's Aoki-sensei, the latest Naoki Prize winner, right? He's in the young lady's class?"

"You actually call him Aoki-sensei too?" Kaguya Shinomiya was somewhat surprised. "Well, his novels are indeed well-written, but as a person, he's just a somewhat capable but hypocritical guy."

Kaguya Shinomiya has seen far too many pretentious guys like Makoto Aoki at all sorts of banquets, not to mention...

"That scrutinizing gaze is really unpleasant."
